    OK, but Jeez.....the money JG made....and the money Cousins will make:

    Imagine what the actually really GOOD QBs in this league could/should be making:

    Brady,   BR, Rodgers,  Wilson,  Flacco, Ryan,  Stafford,   Luck..if he were healthy,  Brees (though I guess he got a deal done),  Rivers, Carr

    ....all of whom I rate above Cousins...and JG....at this point.

          All should rate higher except may Fluco. 

          I also would have Alex Smith. 

          And a few of the young guys, JG included may after more time.

          I have never seen Flacco as much of a top QB, or Cousins. Cousins put up great NUMBERS, but not his play

              His own team didn't think they could win with him.   It is why they never cut a long term deal with him.   Because, they were right.  He was 26-30-1.

              Now...the rest of the shite on that team had a lot to do with it....but he never got his team to rise above the level of mediocrity...

                Next in line for a big raise is Matt Ryan, after him Aaron Rodgers. Stay tuned Gip.

                    Which....they might.   But I see that probably happening only on draft day....only after the Browns have made their choice.....then the Bills may want to move up to as high as #2....if the Browns haven't taken him.

                      In a league with teams starved for a franchise QB, it makes sense, but damn, The Vikings could of kept Keenum and drafted a guy. I would've done that over overpaying for Cousins. As far as Jimmy G goes, I always predicted he'd be lights out when he's ready, and I for sure think he's worth the contract he received.

                        Here's how the FA QB sweepstakes affects the top of the draft- just my humble opinion. Cousins to the Vikes- no surprise. Keenum to the Broncos, Elway decided Cousin's contract is too rich for his blood. Bradford (one year deal) to the Cardinals. 

                        We'll assume the Browns take their preferred QB at #1. Broncos now unlikely to trade up, they'll sit at #5 and cross their fingers. Jets are left out in the cold. If the Bills want Rosen- they have the draft picks to do so, assuming the Giants or Colts are willing to trade down. The Jets could get in a bidding war for the #2 with the Bills. MHO is the Cardinals don't have the draft ammo to move into the top five, they may wind up having to take Rudolph or Jackson- whichever they prefer. 

                        I've been saying very possible QBs could go in the first three picks. Nirvana for the Browns at #4. Chubb or Barkley are sitting there for us.  🙂

                            I just made a prediction on another thread that I think that Vikings fans will wish they had Keenum back next year, rather than Cousins.

                              The Bills have a very nice house to bargain with Tom.  🙂  Picks #12 and #22 in the first, #53, #56 in the second, and #65 (top of the third from the Browns) and # 96.   

                              Throw in a future first round, and that's probably enough to get the Browns interested to move out of #1..

                                If an average QB like Cousuns gets $130Mill what should Rogers command.. $200 Mill?

                                      Yeah it won't happen. But could ya imagine? we get our QB at #4, two more picks in the first, and five in the second?  Hit on five out of the seven, and you could almost rebuild the roster in one year..

                                        I think NFL pay is going up because of the dangers of the sport. that being said, if NBA players make those kind of deals, how is it supposed to make NFL players feel?
